Anything open to access is part of the attack surface and can be attacked though whether this allows a successful hack is another matter.
The only way to secure a server is consider attacks and what you can do to prevent them.
In your case, you may have strong passwords, but are you going to know if someone tries your root account 506938 times with a brute force attack until they happen to find your password? Does your version of openssh have any security vulnerabilities that are remotely vulnerable? If you give someone else access, how do you know that they are changing things appropriately and not introducing vulnerabilities?

nwbocreate
NWBOCREATE(8) nwbocreate NWBOCREATE(8)
NAME
nwbocreate - Create a NetWare Bindery Object
SYNOPSIS
nwbocreate [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -r read-flag ] [ -w write-
flag ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbocreate creates the specified NetWare Bindery Object.
nwbocreate looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbocreate
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-o object name
The name of the object to be created.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and
3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications.
-r read-flag
-w write-flag
Read security and write security may each have one of the following values:
ANYONE: Anyone may access the object
LOGGED: Anyone who is logged in may access the
object
OBJECT: Anyone who is logged in as the object or
SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the
object
SUPERVISOR: Anyone who is logged in as SUPERVISOR
equivalent may access the object
NETWARE: Only the Bindery may access the object
